<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2584214, member: 5233&quot;]I thought I would share with you one of my favorite notes in my collection.&nbsp; It is also one that sorta breaks one of the big rules of collecting:</p><p><br /></p><p>People often say <b>&quot;Buy the nicest example that you can afford&quot;</b> and<b> &quot;Don&#039;t buy problem coins/currency.&quot;</b> As a general rule, I think that is 100% correct.&nbsp; Avoid problem coins and notes for your collection.&nbsp; They are hard to sell and typically in time you regret picking them up.&nbsp; This is absolutely true.&nbsp; However, there are some exceptions to this rule.&nbsp; Take this note for instance:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Jyvx8ad.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>At first glance, it looks like a torn...ratty beat up 1902 National.&nbsp; A note that has been repaired (and not that well).&nbsp; Probably not a lot here.&nbsp; However, as of the last time I checked...only 6 examples of this 1902 Plain Back $10 note are known.&nbsp; If I ever came across another, I would be lucky.&nbsp; So, when this note came up for sale, I jumped on it.&nbsp; I may never see another one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, why is this note so special...well, because it is from a bank in my home town.&nbsp; I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon.&nbsp; It is my first and thus far only Eugene note.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a big believer that when you are dealing with items this scarce, you don&#039;t always have the luxury of buying problem free examples.&nbsp; Sometimes it&#039;s own a problem example or don&#039;t one the piece at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
